One of the most pressing issues Harpole discussed in an exclusive interview with Shawn Ryan involves the forensic details surrounding the shooting. Harpole described the state of Kirk’s body and how the bullet hit him when he was shot. “The doctor came out there and told us… The bullet came in and hit the vertebrae… crushed it, shattered it, turned, crushed the second one, kept going down all the way,” Harpole recounted.
Yet, this crucial information was not publicly released, despite Harpole hoping it would be. “I don’t see how that could jeopardize a fair trial for a guy,” he said.
Ryan and Harpole then discussed why it is a necessity for more information to become public because of widespread misinformation about Kirk’s murder, which has been affecting his family. Harpole says that Erika Kirk’s reaction to hearing about the death of her husband was nothing short of heartbreaking.
“I know what pain looks and sounds like… The words that came out of her mouth and how they came out when she walked in that room and saw him. You don’t want to hear that. She’s a victim. That’s her husband.” Harpole said.

As Harpole urges, transparency about the events of that day is not just a matter of legal procedure—it is a matter of human decency. In a world quick to judge and spread rumors, seeking truth and defending the vulnerable is the only path toward justice and healing.
